PANews posted on X (formerly Twitter). The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is facing significant opposition from major Wall Street entities, including JPMorgan Chase, Citadel, and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), regarding its planned 'crypto exemption mechanism' set to take effect in January. The disagreement centers around the regulatory framework for tokenized securities, also known as real-world assets (RWA). During closed-door meetings, both sides expressed substantial differences in their views on how these digital assets should be regulated. The SEC's initiative aims to provide a clearer path for crypto-related securities, but Wall Street firms have raised concerns about the potential implications for the financial industry. The debate highlights the ongoing tension between regulatory bodies and financial institutions as they navigate the evolving landscape of digital assets.
